Didn't see a thread on this. Thought I'd throw it up there. Feels particularly relevant for me as this was basically right in my back yard.
As someone who had their fair share of bullying when I was that age, and remembering how completely incapable of dealing with it, or growing a "thicker skin", or rationally assessing the importance of the opinions of teenaged peers, I find the plaintive need for some kind of validation or rescue in her video absolutely wrenching. As usual, though, this is coming to everyone's attention long after the coop door was left open and the fox ate all the chickens.
How she made it through four schools and a suicide attempt without SOMEONE being able to put a stop to this crap is beyond me. But it really pisses me off.
